Research Activities:
Part of my Ph.D. research is to build a FROG (Frequency Resolved Optical Gating) setup, which allows to measure and analyze the ultrafast (~ 100 femtosecond) pulses we use in our experiments. Building an setup like FROG includes programing the control and data analyzation code. Experimental results on pulse propagation thru material measured with FROG will be compared to simulations done in our group (see Jeremy Gulley) on that topic. Further on I am working currently on generating THz radiation thru ultrashort pulse - material interaction and THz detection using nonlinear effects.
